You looked stunning... I found myself laughing about the "tie" changing because DBF will probably do the same thing because he will be so nervous..

I can't wait for more....

 

[Rebclay]

I can't wait to read more!

 

[not_Joanna_eggs]

Great update! You look so pretty =) Can't wait to see more pictures!!!

Thanks Stacey! It took a lot of scrubbing and polishing, but if I can say so myself... I clean up good!

I got my pro pictures back, so more pictures are coming soon!

Thanks! Yeah, Greg was very antsy, it's was hilarious.

More is on it's way!

I can't wait to read more!

Assuming photobucket cooperates, an update is forthcoming! Thanks for reading along!

Okay... where were we?

Oh yeah, I was hot, sweaty, running late and really crabby, and then I was told to go on the beach to meet my man.... On the beach... where there's sand... in my huge heels...

Wanna see that reaction?

Not good.

As I kind of explained before, our "reveal" was kind of anti-climatic, so instead... I'll share our first kiss...

Out of focus really is my best angle...

Then we moved onto group shots...

Monica and I were having a hard time being serious...

Laughing hysterically may not have been the best game plan, because we all have weird looks on most of the pictures...

ME!

So Monica and I are just dying in the sand, we kept sinking and falling at weird angles. So when we were told to take pictures together - no boys to hold us up....

This is what happened.

Oh No! I'm falling

Let me help you!

I'm taking you down with me!

You're hurting me

Jerk!

Obligatory Sister pose

Finally - on solid ground... to try to get some serious pictures

FAIL

We're just not serious people I guess...

 

[padisneyfour]

I love your pics! looks like you all had a whole lot of fun! the bouquets and dresses look so pretty together!

 

[not_Joanna_eggs]

So onward to Sunset Point...

Good thing we got the ribbon on his boutonniere to coordinate with his purse...

Sunset Point

When we got to sunset point, there was some litter, so Greg captured this moment for me so I could remember it forever...

Thanks Greg!

So we headed back to bid adieu to the boys when I noticed that I was missing one of my shoe jewels. Yeek So we re-traced our steps, and no luck. Monica got our DFTW assistants to look too, but no cigar.

I wouldn't have cared, but it was my something borrowed - from my mother.

So on that note....we bid farewell for now to the boys, and did what any good Wisconsin girls would do....

We headed to the bar!

It's water I swear! I was so hot, I thought I would melt without it.

So after our drink... what next? We got hungry...

My sister is so much less awkward than I am... Here's her..

Here's me..

And she's got the whole playing to the camera thing way more down than me...

So then we head over to the bridge to take a few last pictures...

I'm getting into pose, when Monica says.... "did you take off your other shoe jewel?"

No... Well it's on the bridge. Are you wearing the other one?
Yes!
SCORE

Some guest had found it, and placed on the top of the bridge. Our focus had been on the ground, so we didn't see it before. Crisis averted.

I took my shoes off because they were starting to hurt, so my sister reveled in the opportunity to be taller than me!

Then we stopped for a snapshot with the surf board, cuz we're such surfers...

Finally, we got in the car, and then got really serious...

Onward to the WP!

I love your pics! looks like you all had a whole lot of fun! the bouquets and dresses look so pretty together!

Thanks Tammy! We had a lot of - probably too much - fun!

Disney Floral did an amazing job! I loved our flowers!

 

[Brit_Jude]

I love your pictures. The dresses and flowers look lovely and your necklace looks so good.

 

[emilymad]

Your pictures are great! I love that you all look so happy and having a great time!

 

[Ann117]

I just started looking at your PJ. Your wedding looked like so much fun!! I want drink around the world to. I like how you covered the table in the wedding pavilion I think I am going to steal that idea. Also did you get the light up glasses for your dessert party from Disney?

 

[not_Joanna_eggs]

I love your pictures. The dresses and flowers look lovely and your necklace looks so good.

Thanks! I actually had two necklaces, and the one I ended up wearing had gone around to each of us (my mom, sister and I) at least once before I decided to wear it - and looking back, I can't imagine not wearing it!

Your pictures are great! I love that you all look so happy and having a great time!

Thanks! We basically just decided to have fun and let our (my) year of planning take its course and ride the ride. Best decision we made, looking back, I can honestly say, we had a blast!

Thanks for reading! Both DF and I said before we left that we were just going to go into Auto-pilot starting on Friday and just enjoy every minute of the wedding, weekend, and we just had a blast!

Drinking around the world was fun - very expensive - but fun!

Steal away! I'm so glad we covered the table - It really pulled the attention to the front - and it was pretty inexpensive too ($35).

The glow glasses were through Disney Floral. They were $5 each I believe, and worth every penny. Our guests are still talking about them - and many of them took them home with them!

 

[pink_tink8i8]

the pics are great!

 

[princess22]

I love your pictures! You look so happy and normal in them. Mine are all stuffy and posed and I wish we were more relaxed and happy like yours!!! Keep em coming girl!!!

 

[not_Joanna_eggs]

the pics are great!

Thanks! I have to admit, when I first saw them, I wasn't head-over-heels thrilled with them, but as I've had a chance to sift through them, they're growing on me, and I'm liking them more and more.

Thanks Stacey! Your comment made me laugh, because I was thinking that I wish I had been a little more posed. I have a lot of pictures like this.

Which are hilarious, but not really portrait worthy if you know what I mean...

 

[not_Joanna_eggs]

Okay, so life and work have been super crazy lately so I've been neglecting my poor TR. I will get more up soon I promise, but for now please accept this cheater picture post as a peace offering until I can get around to composing full sentences again

More pre-ceremony pictures around the Poly

Serious Shot:

Monica and I goofing off, thinking no one was watching

DF's reaction

Okay... I think I'm at or near my photo limit for this post and DH is taking me out for a yummy birthday dinner, so I hope you enjoy my cheap cheater photo post

 

[Pirate's Princess]

I love the pics! You guys seem like such characters!!!

Have an awesome birthday dinner!!!

Oh come on! That would look awesome in a gorgeous frame on the fireplace mantle!

 

[spacerangerqueen]

I'm so far behind!
First I have to say that you looked gorgeous! Your dress looked stunning, way better than it looked on the hanger when you posted pics of it before!
That sucks about the car only being a 2 door and whose idea was it to provide one limo for all your guests? That does sound quite silly to have people wait around for an hour and a half, boo to that!
I'm glad you were able to find the missing shoe jewel. Sounds like for the most part things worked out in your favor, no rain during pictures and lost items were found
Hope you had a great birthday and can't wait for more TR!!!

 

[pink_tink8i8]

you crack me up with some of your pics. I haven't seen too many poly ones. They look really great

 

[not_Joanna_eggs]

Thanks! We had a lot of fun. When we were asked if we'd have any characters at the wedding, we kept joking that we were the only characters that would be there.

My birthday dinner was great. We went to a restaurant that serves crab that was caught on the boats that are on the "deadliest catch" DH loves that show - his birthday is the day before mine - so he got his deadliest catch, I got yummy crab. It was a win-win!

Oh come on! That would look awesome in a gorgeous frame on the fireplace mantle!

My dad says it's my "Jessica Simpson" picture. It totally looks like a paparazzi shot. I just need a starbucks in my hand!

Thanks Becky! It's amazing what some (okay a lot) of altering did to the dress. It was really comfortable too.

The 2 door car wasn't too bad for my sister and I or the boys, but my mom seriously got stuck. It was bad. Oh well.

The limo was my WP's idea. It would have worked when we originally had 25 people, but as our guest list grew, we never re-visited the transportation situation. My guests thought it was cool to be picked up in a limo - but the whole waiting thing just sucked. Oh well.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. It was quite fun!

you crack me up with some of your pics. I haven't seen too many poly ones. They look really great

Thanks We did our e-picts at the GF, and wanted something a little more laid back for the wedding. I wasn't a big fan of being on the beach, but the pictures turned out nice - a better fit for us than the elegant GF.

So.... I'm still working on my next update, but I thought I'd give you a little bit of an intermission.

These are pictures that were in the slide show that we played during the pre-reception for our guests:

My sister and I; all dressed up for Easter

My family at the California Grill before it was the California Grill

Okay... I am working on my next update. Hopefully I will get it up this weekend....
